It's been a good week for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2."
On Tuesday, the Warner Bros. Pictures’ film became the top-grossing release of 2011 in all categories: domestic box office, international box office and worldwide box office. It already held the international and worldwide titles, but it wasn't until Tuesday that it passed "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" domestically.
A day earlier, the film's tallies reached $344.8 million domestically and $801.5 million internationally, for an worldwide box office gross of $1.146 billion, making "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2" the third-highest-grossing film worldwide of all time.
“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 can truly be called a global phenomenon," said Warner Bros. President of International Distribution Veronika Kwan-Rubinek. "The filmmakers and cast, who dedicated their talents to the success of these films for over a decade, share in this piece of cinema history. We congratulate and thank them all.”
“This is another incredible milestone for the last chapter of this historic film series, and for the Harry Potter franchise as a whole," Warner Bros. Pictures President of Domestic Distribution, Dan Fellman said. "In a crowded and very competitive summer, it is a tribute to both the film and the people behind it that moviegoers are still turning out to enjoy it—whether for the first time or for a repeat viewing.”
Never before has a film franchise held up both creatively and financially for so long over so many installments. It's doubtful we'll see another like it for some time.
